NHL Rumour Report - NHL Trade Rumours and Speculation

Rumour board update: 43 days til UFA. Shattenkirk, Lucic & Halak rumours + more

We're only 44 days away from unrestricted free agency, and the speculation continues to heat up across the NHL. With 26 clubs sitting on the sidelines, talk around the league is picking up as focus shifts toward next season.

The Kostitsyn brothers, Sergei and Andrei, are once again generating buzz of a potential NHL return. The two last played in the NHL in 2012, and rumours of a comeback have surfaced from time to time. Hard to tell if this is a negotiation tactic with their KHL teams or if they genuinely have interest in returning. Reports out of the World Championships suggest Andrei is perhaps not in the greatest shape of his life, which could scare teams away.

With a new ownership group poised to take over the franchise, expect big changes to the Islanders both on and off the ice this summer.

When the Avalanche acquired Coyotes forward Mikkel Boedker at the NHL trade deadline it was assumed he was going to be a long term investment. Instead, extension talks seem to have broken down and Boedker is more likely than not to head to free agency on July 1st. Among the teams rumoured to be interested are the New York Islanders and Philadelphia Flyers, although many more should emerge. Boedker is just one of several elite pending UFAs in a star-studded and top-heavy free agency class.

The NHL Rumour Report is very excited to re-launch both the NHL Trade Rumour Board and NHL Free Agency Rumour Board.

On the NHL UFA Rumour Board you'll find all of the latest free agency rumours from around the league in the leadup to July 1st and beyond.

Wild roster overhaul coming? + rumours from around the NHL

Multiple reports suggest the Wild will make a significant roster shakeup this summer. Fan frustration is mounting after the team of well-paid veterans once again made an early exit from the Stanley Cup playoffs, and there has been no shortage of trade speculation.

Radulov talking to NHL teams, could make decision in coming weeks

KHL forward Alex Radulov has arrived in North America to explore his NHL options. It's widely believed the Avalanche are the frontrunners, but the Leafs and Wild have been linked to the former Nashville Predator. Some rumours have pointed to the Capitals and Oilers as longshot candidates. UPDATE: add the Red Wings to the list of teams known to be pursuing Radulov.

Rumours surround Habs, Subban

Rumours surrounding PK Subban and many other Canadiens players have begun to surface. Coming off a season where the team fell tremendously short of expectations amidst injuries and underperformance, the Habs will be looking to make big changes. The coach and GM will be back next season, meaning the changes are expected to be made to the team itself.
